Geocache Description:

Haweswater Hike: a series of caches around Haweswater that can be done as a complete circuit of the lake or via shorter expeditions.  This cache is where the pipeline path crosses Gurness Gill.


The small path continues up from The Wrong Trousers to a small col, then a short descent to the Gill.  There is a bridge that crosses the stream and just below it the pipeline is visible.  Certainly not on a par with the main aqueduct to Manchester.  Lovely trees grow in the small gorge, but watch out for loose rock if you scramble about.


Description:  Follow the small posts and the path to the bridge.  The cache is on the north side.  Climb along the bank above the line of trees, not in the gorge.
